Ordered a RemAge barrel now deciding which action to use. Have both a LH Stiller Scout and a LH Christensen Arms. Was hoping to get some insight from those with experience on which is the better to use. I'm not looking to buy another action, just use what I have and possibly sell the other. Rifle will be chambered for 6 mm BR. Have a modified mag box set up and ready to go.

Thanks. Origin is off the table due to the thread pitch of the barrel on order.
IMO Stiller.
This much I know, CA bolt handles are welded on and Stillers of current production are 1 piece.
I like the side mount bolt release more on the Stiller than the CA but haven't had either not perform as designed.
Stiller receiver scope base is 8-40 and pinned.
CA takes a "standard" Remington scope base @ 6-48 along with round ring and curved/flat bridge so there is a stronger possibility of uneven heights a-la factory M700.
Granted the screw/pin/uneven ring-bridge can be corrected by a competent riflesmith but IMO the Stiller is more turn-key.
Good luck with your build!
